Mozi's ideas, science and military displays
The large statue of Mozi in the entrance hall is a clear starting point. The Science Hall covers subjects such as pinhole imaging and the lever principle. The Military Hall presents ancient defensive devices including repeating crossbow carts and rotating shooting machines, while the Humanities Hall and Shengji Hall add Mozi's life and ideas.
The availability of interactive equipment changes. Keep the Humanities Hall and Military Hall as the fixed route, and treat the interactive exhibits as optional stops along the way. Visitors who want the full display can continue through the main halls even when some devices are under maintenance.
Who it suits
Families and students can start with pinhole imaging and the lever principle in the Science Hall, then see defensive equipment models in the Military Hall. History and technology enthusiasts can allow 1–2 hours for the Humanities, Science, Military and Shengji halls.
Mozi Memorial Museum, Tengzhou Han Portrait Stone Museum and Tengzhou Museum are all in the Longquan Square cultural area and suit a half-day museum route. Each museum has its own admission rules, so adjust the order around reservations and last admission.
Build your day
30–60 minute quick route
Enter through the main entrance, see the statue of Mozi in the entrance hall, continue to the Science Hall for exhibits such as pinhole imaging, then visit the Military Hall's defensive equipment models before leaving.
This route suits visitors with limited time or another museum planned for the same day. If an interactive device is under maintenance, continue to the Military Hall and entrance displays rather than waiting for it to reopen.
1–2 hour full route
Start in the Humanities Hall to learn about Mohist ideas and Mozi's life, then continue to the Science Hall and Military Hall before finishing in the Shengji Hall. The cultural-products area at the exit is optional; the main exhibition halls remain the priority.
This route suits history, technology and family visitors. If you will also visit the Han Portrait Stone Museum or Tengzhou Museum, confirm those museums' admission times before adding the cultural-products and interactive sections.
Combining the other Longquan Square museums
Mozi Memorial Museum can be connected on foot with Tengzhou Han Portrait Stone Museum and Tengzhou Museum. All three are free, but Mozi Memorial Museum and the Han Portrait Stone Museum accept visitors with an on-site ID card, while Tengzhou Museum requires a reservation three days in advance. Start with the museum that has the reservation requirement.

Know before you go
Admission and equipment availability
Mozi Memorial Museum is free, requires no advance reservation and admits visitors with an ID card on site. It is open Tuesday–Sunday from 09:00–17:00, with last admission at 16:30, and closed on Mondays except public holidays.
Some electronic interactive exhibits in the Science Hall may be under maintenance. Pinhole imaging and lever-principle exhibits are worth trying when available, but their condition does not affect the rest of the museum route.
Food and same-day planning
Food choices inside the museum are limited. Eat around Longquan Square or in Tengzhou city; local options include vegetable pancakes (菜煎饼), spicy chicken (辣子鸡), Tengzhou-style meat noodles (大肉面), and breakfast porridge.
For a same-day visit to all three museums, put Tengzhou Museum's reservation time first, then arrange Mozi Memorial Museum and the Han Portrait Stone Museum around it.
